This is the city: Los Angeles, California. I work here. I'm an ex-mayor. Los Angeles is a magnet for people from all over the world. Some of them run for public office. Inevitably some of them stray from the golden rule and rule for those that have the gold. That's when I go to work. My name is Yorty. I'm a dead pol.

Thanks for sharing the story during one of the slow moments on your blog - which is even slower over at LAFD News & Information.

We hope your readers were able to glean a tip or two, and remain grateful for an opportunity to help people stay safe by helping themselves.

Anonymous 12:19, no offesnse is taken, as we hope that people without interest were able to skip over the clearly labeled article.

In closing, we're keenly aware that our message doesn't fit everywhere at every time. We're grateful for the rare but generous opportunities that MS has offered, and welcome others to syndicate or mention our postings when they strike a chord... or things are just darn slow ;)
